I just realized I answered May's question....  OOPS.

My favorite classic is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It was the first book that made me fall in love with proper literature. I read it in high school and my love for books has never been the same since.

    I haven't read anything by Lauren Oliver. Rooms looks like an interesting story.

    I feel like the narrator is about to own someone and I'm almost sad we don't get to see it. Happy Friday and I hope you enjoy!

    Rooms looks like an interesting read. I like the artwork on the cover.

    I believe I own East of Eden on paperback, but I've never read it.

    I am currently reading EAST OF EDEN for the first time, as part of the Classics Club Spin Challenge. I am just plodding along. I read about three or four pages a day. At this pace I will be done by Christmas, I think. I am seeing the biblical allusions though and that is interesting. My BB and F56 quotes

    I have not read East of Eden, nor have I read any of Steinbeck's works 😲 I should probably take the opportunity and do so soon.

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
